Well i guess you would be avoiding the whole "1,89 meters vs 1.89 meters" drama. But its pretty easy to just ignore in common usage, and only mildly difficult if both are used, and even then its easy to convert. Coming from 1.000,50 country and spending most of my time on english websites means i got a lot of exposure for that. ...on the topic of imperial vs metric, i find it quite funny how the Tech industry uses them. They seem pretty consistent on which country uses what, but theyre not consistent internally. Screensizes are measured in inches (diagonally), even in metric countries, but internal component sizes (Fan width, Video card length, Motherboard sizes) are measured in Milimeters and Centimeters. Temps are measured in Celsius too. No idea why... but atleast its the same everywhere. reincarnator07 posted... 30+ Hot, especially in a country without widespread residential AC. Don't take needless trips and make sure you drink water. These numbers are rare in my country, though we did have 2 recordbreaking days july 2022 with 35/36C. Kinda felt a bit like opening an active oven. Active sun exposure increases the temperature felt too, the higher it is in the sky the stronger it is. 25C with sun is warmer than 25C without sun, and 25C with sun in september is colder than 25C with sun in July (northern hemisphere) --- https://imgur.com/a/8yiweDI <cite>SuperVegitoFAN posted [p:978760156] in Imperial s...
